What is the relationship between membership and paid members of staff?

  • It is possible for a member of staff also to become a member of an organisation, depending on the constitution of the organisation and following the relevant application process. 
  • If the organisation is a charity, then there may be a duty for members to act in the best interests of the charity, which may cause conflicts of interest. In those cases, a conflict policy may be very useful.
